Dulce Pepino

Dulce Pepino is an incredibly refreshing, garden-inspired cocktail that beautifully complements the artisanal, smoky profile of Prolijo Mezcal Espadín with crisp, cooling flavors. It builds a bright, revitalizing base by first blending half a fresh cucumber with 6 mint leaves and then straining out the solids to extract a vibrant, herbal juice. This fresh green essence is then combined with 1.5 oz of the Espadín mezcal, 0.5 oz of tart lime juice, and 0.25 oz of sweet agave nectar. The perfectly balanced mixture is poured into a rocks glass over fresh ice and finished with a zesty Tajín rim, offering a lively, spicy kick that wonderfully contrasts the soothing cucumber and mint.
